And I do, really. I'm getting better, but I'm still incredibly inconsistent at times. I really feel like I'm ready to turn that proverbial corner and sneak up on a 190+ average, but I have a bit of a problem. It's my arsenal. I went a little bit nuts when I first really got into bowling about a year ago, and since then I've bought a few different balls. Part of the reason I bought as many as I did in a short time is that I switched to 15 pounds from 16, and another reason is that I was having problems with gaps when I went to tourneys. I should also add that my average in tournament play on tough conditions is about 15 pins higher than my league average. So on the supposedly "easy" medium house block, I routinely struggle. What I was considering doing is starting to only bring one ball, or maybe two on league nights. As it has been, I've been bringing 3 and sometimes 4. Do you think it's a good idea to just bring one ball? I look around the center and I see guys that are having more success than me never throwing anything but one ball, so I figure maybe I should do just that.
Now, the next question. If I do start to bring just that one ball, which of the following do you think would be best? I'm debating between one of my "middle of the road" balls hook-wise or my more controllable Uturn Pearl. here's what I have that's good to go:
V2 Power (label leverage)
Smokin Inferno (Pin under bridge, trys to roll early but really doesn't)
Vendetta Sniper (3 3/8" by 4")
Uturn Pearl
I've had some success with all of these balls, with the Sniper being my newest piece and I'm least familiar with what it can do. The V2 verges on too strong occasionally, and the Smokin and Uturn are what I would consider most controllable. Thoughts?
